Sergio: "I've got the playbook down now."

Hopefully this is the case. It would be great to have him pan out as a contributing pass rusher.

If he's for real, this would really help us. If Sergio really impresses in the pre season, it would not surprise me if he starts ahead of either Kruger or Upshaw in 2012, he is definitely the more athletically gifted player, and probably our best pass rusher behind Suggs. Either way he could end up playing an Osi type role for us long term. It could give us an interesting option next offseason on whether we should resign kruger or not. Or he could just not pan out at all and fall into obscurity again.

Shade the 3 gap and rush the ball. That can't be too difficult ;)

How good would it be to have this Sergio?

I hate to be the debbie downer, but I have already gotten past the whole Sergio situation. I would love it for him to come back even close to his old form, but I just don't see it happening. Especially with the NFL's new concussion policy and it's media awareness being as high as it is, it really kills his chances.

Sure hope he's as good to go as it sounds...

McAdoo tore his Achilles today. He was going to be competing with Upshaw, Kruger, and Kindle for the OLB snaps. McAdoo was likely 4th in line anyway, but his loss really puts some pressure on Kindle to produce.

Anything is possible .... I'll give that one about a 1% probability of happening.

I'd be stunned if Kindle beats out either of those guys.

He is going to make the team unless he is just really bad in the pre season, we don't have much pass rush depth behind Upshaw and Kruger with McAdoo now injured. Yeah it might sound crazy to people, but Sergio could really impress in the pre season and will have a shot at starting.

Suggs injury saved Kindle's career

Is that a photo of Kindle from this year? If so he has taken off some weight.....he looks closer to what I thought he was like coming out of college.....
